Your money data. Owned by you.
What you buy, what you eat, where you go β Aurora never turns it into a pitch for a loan or a card, never shows you ads and never sells it. For a small subscription, you own your financial data. Ask AI Money Buddy anything and it answers in your own numbers β and plan the whole year ahead, smartly.

What if your spending history is someone's sales lead?
Notifications that never stop
βA loan picked just for you.β βSign up today for a bonus.β You only connected an app to keep track of your money β and now it pings you all day long. Hasn't that ever felt wrong?
Your whole private life
What you buy, what you eat, where you go. If someone knew all of it β and used it to sell you financial products β would you agree to that?
The real price of βfreeβ
How does a free finance app make its money? Usually from ads and from selling financial products. What's for sale then isn't the app β it's your data.
If that ever felt off, it's time to own your data.
Aurora Finance is a global service that puts you in charge of your financial data β and helps you look after it. We run on subscriptions alone, so we have no reason to sell your spending history, pitch you financial products or show you ads.
- No financial-product pitches
- No ads
- Never sold
- Never used to train AI
Ask your money anything. It answers in your own numbers.
Talk to it the way you'd talk to a friend who's good with money. No menus, no keywords, no βsorry, I didn't understandβ β ask, follow up, change your mind. It reads the ledger you have open, down to the lines on your receipts, and answers with your actual figures.
A conversation, not a chatbot
Ask a follow-up and it remembers what you were talking about. βIs that new spending, or did I just move it online?β just works.
Your figures, not averages
Merchants, categories, budgets and receipt items β read straight from your own ledger, so the answer is about you, not a typical household.
Looks, never touches
It can read the ledger you have open and nothing else, it can't change a thing, and your questions are deleted after 30 days.
Am I spending too fast on eating out this month?
You've spent $468 of your $600 dining budget (78%), and 60% of the month has gone β a little fast.
At this pace you'll reach about $780 β $180 over. The biggest share is Uber Eats: 6 orders, $210.
So how much can I spend a day from here?
Keep it under $11 a day for the next 12 days and you'll stay within budget. One delivery averages $35 β more than three days' worth.
What am I paying for subscriptions every month?
Four subscriptions were charged every month for the last three months:
- Netflix$15.49
- YouTube Premium$13.99
- Spotify$11.99
- iCloud+$2.99
Together that's $44.46 a month β $533.52 a year.
YouTube Premium was first charged in August β it's your newest one.
Is milk cheaper at Carrefour or Lidl?
From your receipts, Fresh milk 2L is cheaper at Lidl.
- Carrefour$2.99
- Lidl$2.79
That's $0.20 a bottle β about $1.20 a month at the 6 bottles you buy.
How much has it gone up since January?
At Carrefour, from $2.76 in January to $2.99 in October β about 8%.

Your financial data is yours. Protecting it comes first.
Security is Aurora's top priority, not a feature we added later. Here is exactly how we handle your data β what we keep, how it's protected, and who can and can't see it.
We don't collect who you are
No ID or passport number, no date of birth, no home address or phone number, no full account or card numbers and never a banking password. Beyond your ledger, we hold only your email and the name you choose to show.
Every file encrypted, with its own key
Statements, receipts and photos you upload are encrypted with AES-256-GCM β each file under its own key, tied to your household and kept apart from where the files are stored. A copied disk or backup is unreadable on its own. Statement files are kept one month β PDF statements with your name, address and account numbers blacked out β and receipts 18 months, then deleted.
Our team can't open your files
Our support and admin tools are built so they cannot open your statements, receipts or questions β a rule in the software, not a promise in a policy. We see a conversation only if you share it, and production access is limited to the few who must have it.
Leading AI, never trained on you
Aurora works with Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini) on their paid business terms only β never a free consumer tier. Under those terms your data is never used to train their models.
Your texts stay on your phone
Aurora reads card and bank texts on your phone and keeps only the transaction. Passcodes and every other message are dropped right there, and the message itself is never sent. On iPhone, Apple doesnβt let apps open your messages: a Shortcuts automation hands Aurora only the texts with your word, like βendingβ. On Android, Aurora reads only the card companies and banks you add.
Your inbox stays yours
E-mail forwarding reads only what your own Gmail filter sends β Aurora never signs in to your mailbox. If your Gmail ever starts sending all your mail, Aurora notices, stops reading anything that isnβt a receipt or statement, and tells you how to switch it off.
Why Aurora is a paid service
Keeping your data safe costs money β secure infrastructure, and AI on terms that rule out training on your data. We pay for that with subscriptions, not with your data. We never sell it, never show you ads and never use your financial records to train AI.
We publish every detail of how we handle your data.
Try every feature free. Then pick the plan that fits.
Every plan has receipt photos, e-mailed receipts, statement import, Reconcile, budgets, goals, trips, investments and AI Money Buddy. Plans differ in ledgers, members and transactions β and Expat adds net worth and the Cross-Ledger Report.
USDAll prices are in US dollars β whatever currency your household lives in.

Give it a month. See your money clearly.
Every feature, free for 33 days β long enough to capture a whole month of spending and look back on it. If Aurora earns its place, subscribe. If not, walk away: no card needed to start.
On a computer? The iOS beta installs on your iPhone: open aurorafinance.app there and tap βInstall the iOS betaβ. Appleβs TestFlight app walks you through the rest.
Installing the iOS beta takes two steps:
- Install Appleβs free TestFlight app from the App Store.
- Come back here and tap βiOS beta (TestFlight)β again. TestFlight opens the invite: tap Accept, then Install.
You donβt need a redeem code. If TestFlight asks for one, it was opened without the invite: come back and tap the button again, in Safari rather than a chat app.
